Boss FAQ
===============================================================================
Introduction: Hey, my name is 2Lazy4You (obviously not my real name) and
welcome to my first FAQ. I wanted to write this guide because I finished the
game, and thought it was great. In this guide, you will find all the bosses,
tips on the game, and others. I hope you will find this FAQ useful!
P.S This guide may contain spoilers!
P.P.S If you need to contact me, please do so. My e-mail is
psycho.spaz@hotmail.com. You may contact me if you find a mistake in my guide.
I'm sure there will be. You can also ask questions about my guide, and if you
find that you have a better strategy than me, you can mail me it and I will add
it to my guide and put you in the Credits section =P. Also, if you want to ask
anything else, feel free to unless it's inappropriate got it? OK =D.
Also, I know it's a bit late to submit this guide seeing how this game came out
ages ago, but I actually started ages ago, I just didn't finish. Now I have to
finish otherwise there was no point starting it, so yeah. Why would you stop
halfway? You'll be wasting so much time cause I was halfway through the guide
so I'm not wasting years doing nothing. OK enough blabbering and on with the
guide! Also, the guide is in chronological order, in which you will face the
bosses in.

1. How to use the Guide {HG}
Like many guides, you may just want to know about one thing only, so it is a
pain to look for it in all those words yeah? So to make it easier, I created a
shortcut. The {??} on the right side of the contents is the 'subtitle' of that
subject. If you only need to know about that particular subject, then just hit
ctrl+F, which brings up the auto find window. Then type in the {??}, and then
there are fireworks, so congratz!
===============================================================================
2. Useful Tips {UT}
General Tips
Tip 1- Final Fantasy III is an RPG, like Adventure Quest (0.o). RPG stands for
Role Playing Game. It is called this, because one person attacks, then the
other attacks. If you AFK for 60 days and come back, the enemy you are battling
against will still not attack you. Your levels, HP/MP, armour, attack, defence,
etc. are all important. If they are low, then you may have trouble defeating
certain enemies or even bosses.
Tip 2- Jobs are also important. If you are having trouble beating a very hard
boss, try changing jobs. They are usually the answer to certain obstacles you
can't pass.
Tip 3- Different jobs use different types of equipment. For example, a Knight
may use swords, but a Dragoon uses spears, lances and pole arms. So if you are
thinking about changing jobs, don't sell your stuff! This applies to armour as
well. (So you get money).
Tip 4- Just after you have switched to a different job, you will be under a
time called the Job Transition Phase. During this time, your strength, agility,
vitality, intellect and mind will be yellow, and slightly lowered. This is seen
on the menu, and there is an arrow next to the character. Also, if you are
switching from a job that does not use magic to a job that does, be careful
because your mp will remain at 0 so you cannot use magic! Just go to a nearby
inn or wellspring and heal up.
Tip 5- In a battle, your enemy may use curses like Toad or Mini. You must be
prepared to cure these ailments or you won't be doing very well in battle.
Tip 6- Having a healer in your party is a tremendous help in a battle, or even
on the world map. They are usually more help than potions, so that makes them
very valuable.
===============================================================================
Training Tips
Tip 1- It is always best training in dungeons than on the world map at most
times, simply because they give more exp, and they spawn faster. However, you
may have access to more than one dungeon at once so choose the one you like!
:D.
Tip 2- When training or even defeating enemies, do not use items on them,
unless you really want to get rid of them. WHY NOT? Because you will not be
wasting it if you use it on a boss. Using it on monsters is just a waste.
Tip 3- It is best to train in a dungeon with monsters that you can kill in 1-2
rounds. Anything more than that is not the quickest way to level.
Tip 4- Look out for weaknesses. Some enemies have weaknesses such as fire or
lightning. Using fire or lightning on these monsters can be extremely effective
obviously, cause they are weak to fire and lightning (obviously).
===============================================================================
Boss Tips
Tip 1- Most bosses are found at the very end of dungeons )which doesn't make
sense) so don't waste all your mp if you have mages. Also, if you want, you can
flee from all the enemies that you meet. That way, you don't waste any mp at
all! :). But then that's not always good cause you won't level up anymore :(
Tip 2- Always fully heal your party before starting a battle. If your party is
on half- health and the boss gets the first strike, it's all over.
Tips 3- As listed above, some bosses have weaknesses! To find this out, you
need either a Scholar using Study, or a white mage using Libra.
Tip 4- Using items is very effective too. If you have a very powerful one, then
it will deal tons of damage (again obvious).
Tip 5- It is necessary to heal after every round in a battle, because your
enemy might take the first hit in the next round. Unless your party is already
fully healed.
Tip 6- Some bosses may have no existing weaknesses, but may be weak to physical
attacks or magic attacks (which is still a weakness don't forget).
Tip 7- If you cannot defeat a certain boss, try and gain a couple of levels.
This will give you at least an extra 100hp to your characters, depending on the
vitality. Your statuses will also increase (strength, agility, etc.).
Tip 8- Most bosses attack 2 times per round, but some attack 3 because they are
really fast! (Haha get it)? Also, some bosses can use a special attack, and
they usually use it when the battle lasts more than 3 rounds. If you want to
avoid these attacks, just try and kill it as soon as possible. Also, most
bosses can use magic. Although they can attack 2 or 3 times per round, they can
only use magic once. The rest of their attacks are physical attacks.
Tip 9- If you have a mage in your party, avoid using spells like confuse, raze,
warp, and etc. because they do not work on bosses (duh!). Stick to the
offensive and the defensive ones, not the ones that inflict ailments.
Tip 10- After a boss battle, your party will be fully healed. Since most bosses
are found at the end of dungeons, it is recommended that you buy Ottershrooms,
or use the spell: Teleport (white magic). If you have neither, then it is still
great to backtrack to the entrance of the dungeon because you get more exp like
this, and your party is fully healed anyway.
Tip 11- After you defeat a boss next to a crystal, new jobs are unlocked, and
your kicking fat ass lvl goes up by one.
===============================================================================
Further Tips
Tip 1- As said many times already, most bosses are found at the end of
dungeons. There are enemies inside the dungeons, of course. To have an easy
time fighting these bosses, make sure that you can kill the enemies inside the
dungeon in on round (with the exception of Land Turtle, Garuda and The Cloud of
Darkness). Otherwise, you will find it harder to defeat the boss.
Tip 2- Always explore the dungeons well, for they contain many useful
treasures. Items found in dungeons always help you to defeat the boss at the
end. (Usually).
Tip 3- Save often! Before you enter a dungeon or fight in a battle, always
remember to save, because you may never come out! In that case, you will have
to do all that crap again.
Tip 4- Always remember to heal after every battle, unless your party is already
on full health or near full health (geez I'm sure u already know this stuff but
anyway) otherwise you could die after meeting strong monsters.
Tip 5- You shouldn't have trouble buying equipment and potions. The currency in
this game is called Gil. You shouldn't run out of Gil. And if you do, fight
some monsters and you will gain heaps (another thing that doesn't make sense is
that monsters don't use Gil, so how can they have them?).
You've finished reading these tips that most of you already know (keep in mind
I said most of you, not all of you so don't be so proud of yourself), so
congratz. You may now 'play' O_____O ok I'll stop...
===============================================================================
3. Boss Battle Land Turtle {BLT}
LVL- 4 HP- 111
Attack- 8 Defence- 6
Gil- 500 EXP- 20
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 2+
===============================================================================
Strategy- You're first boss is a very easy boss to defeat. If you have properly
explored the cave, then you would have two Longswords, potions, and some
armour. Do not use the shield in this battle. An extra 10 damage is better than
a mere 1 defence.
You will also have 2 Antarctic Winds, but I suggest you to only use one, and
save one on the coming battle against the Djinn. They will deal about 45 damage
to the Land Turtle. After that, just keep attacking him. If your HP falls below
12, you must use a potion, because if you don't, the enemy might strike a lucky
critical shot.
Please do not whine about dying on the first boss and saying everything in the
world is rigged and you have to start a new game again cause it's not.
===============================================================================
4. Boss Battle Djinn {BDJ}
LVL- 7 HP- 600
Attack- 20 Defence- 8
Gil- 1400 EXP- 200
Weaknesses- Ice Recommended Level- 8+
===============================================================================
Strategy- This boss is even easier than the previous one. You will have
Princess Sara in your party, and she may cast Cure or Aero. Djinn is weak to
ice, so you know what to do! If you have saved an Antarctic Wind from the
previous battle, then use it here. That will deal about 500 damage, which is
almost enough for you to defeat the Djinn in one round. Make sure you have
equipped the Wightslayer sword onto a character. You may also use the Blizzard
spell (found in the Sealed Cave).
Djinn usually attacks you with his knife, but his magic attack will deal a lot
of damage to your entire party in one go. Using cure is enough, to get you back
to full health, or potions.
===============================================================================
5. Boss Battle Bahamut {BBT}
===============================================================================
Strategy- Well strictly speaking, this isn't really a boss battle at all. Why?
Yes you can go and try and beat him, go ahead! You will eventually find out
that this boss is not impossible to beat, but extremely hard for your level.
However, if you want revenge on this dragon, you can. Later on in the game, you
will face him again (you don't have to, it's optional). So what do you do? Run
away! Press the flee button! You can also press L & Y at the same time if you
didn't know.
===============================================================================
6. Boss Battle Giant Rat {BGR}
LVL- 11 HP- 900
Attack- 24 Defence- 29
Gil- 1500 EXP- 1200
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 12+
===============================================================================
Strategy- Oh no! Your party is minied! For this battle, magic is the way to go.
If you have any physical attackers, just use Guard, or use potions to heal
other party members. Remember to put them in the back row!
I suggest you go to this battle with at least 3 mages; a Black Mage, Red Mage
and White Mage. Your black and red mage should be using black magic on the
giant rat, while your white mage should be constantly be healing any injured
party members. You may have picked up the Fira spell (level 3 black magic), and
using this is extremely effective. Also, using items like Zeus Wrath are also
good against this rat. You may also have found the Cura spell, which is an even
more powerful healing spell than Cure.
With these strategies, this boss should go down in 3 to 4 rounds.
===============================================================================
7. Boss Battle Medusa {BMA}
LVL- 17 HP- 3000
Attack- 35 Defence- 32
Gil- 2600 EXP- 1680
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended level- 14+
===============================================================================
Strategy- This battle is a little bit hard, but it shouldn't be impossible. You
should have a White Mage in your party, as always. Magic is effective against
this boss, and will usually deal more damage than the physical strikers at this
point of the game. Also, this is a fire- based monster so do not use weapons or
spells that do fire damage. However, it has no weaknesses.
Medusa can also inflict Silence, which makes the inflicted unable to use magic.
Medusa will sometimes but rarely try and turn your party to stone, but usually
it is a miss. Make sure that you stock up with Echo Herbs and Gold Needles!
Lastly, Medusa may use Stare, which is a really annoying ailment that you will
get pissed off at. What does it do? It confuses one of your characters in your
party. After this, you cannot control him/her and he/she will either attack
himself/herself or another party member. You cannot get rid of this thing
unless after 3 rounds or getting hit.
Antarctic Winds are effective on this boss if you got them, and heal with your
white mage every round. Otherwise, this boss should be no problem at all.
===============================================================================
8. Boss Battle Gutsco the Rogue {BGR}
LVL- 17 HP- 3500
Attack- 35 Defence- 24
Gil- 3500 EXP- 2304
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended level- 15+
===============================================================================
Strategy- This battle is not hard, but isn't easy either. Gutsco will usually
use his physical attacks, and that's the biggest threat he poses to go. He can
cast Mini at your party, so be careful! (If he casts Mini at your mages, ignore
it cause it does no effect)! He will also start using Cure when you are close
to finishing him.
Heal with your White Mage always, and this battle should not be a problem at
all.
===============================================================================
9. Boss Battle Salamander {BSR}
LVL- 19 HP- 5700
Attack- 41 Defence- 25
Gil- 3700 EXP- 2744
Weaknesses- Ice Recommended Level- 19+
===============================================================================
Strategy- Oh, it's Gutsco again, what a loser! He wants revenge as he stomps
towards you, making the ground vibrate. The good thing is that he is standing
next to the fire crystal! Beat him, and new jobs will be unlocked! Anyway, he
transforms into a powerful Salamander, which is weak to ice (that's smart).
Of course, use Blizzara with your black mage or red mage. If you have properly
explored the Molten Cave, then you should have the Freezing Blade, which is
also good to use on this boss.
Salamander will use his normal attacks, and be quite annoying sometimes,
because he seems to go for the same character per round, which might kill them.
He will also use a Fire Breath attack, which will damage your entire party,
with a good amount of HP.
Use Cura to get your party back on top. Again, magic is the way to go against
this boss, and especially the ice attacks. You should not have a problem with
this boss, with those strategies listed above.
===============================================================================
10. Boss Battle Hein {BHN}
LVL- 22 HP- 4500
Attack- 47 Defence- 26
Gil- 4300 EXP- 3464
Weaknesses- (changes) Recommended Level- 22+
===============================================================================
Strategy- This battle may be hard, but it won't be if you know what to do.
Firstly, Hein can change his weaknesses by using Barrier Shift. For example,
first his weakness is fire. He uses Barrier Shift and Ta-da! His weakness has
changed to something else. Well how do you find out what weakness he is
currently suffering from? You have just unlocked new jobs, and a Scholar is the
job that finds it out, by using Study. There is also another way; White Mages
can find this out too by using Libra (level 4 white magic found at the magic
shop in Gyshal).
Having a Geomancer is probably almost essential. The Terrain ability is
outstanding at this stage. And also, there is a trick. If you're lucky, you may
hit him with Shadowflare, which is 1-hit KO attack! A Scholar is also excellent
because they're so smart; they double the effects of items they use. A White
Mage is still important though, so don't give it up! Even if you are fail at
detecting his weakness, you can still beat him; it just takes an awful long
time. Going into this battle with your party at level 22 is excellent.
===============================================================================
11. Boss Battle Kraken {BKN}
LVL- 24 HP- 8000
Attack- 57 Defence- 27
Gil- 5500 EXP- 5280
Weaknesses- Lightning Recommended Level- 23+
===============================================================================
Strategy- What?! The water crystal already? Well, yes. It's time for a showdown
with Kraken. He is weak to lightning like many of the monsters in the cave. His
physical attacks are not too strong, but if you are under level, it may cause
you trouble.
Do not use a Scholar- they are useless. A Geomancer is still extremely good,
and Shadowflare still works. The only annoying thing is that it might use
Whirlpool and that does nothing at all. A Black Mage is also very good,
especially if you are using Blizzaga, which is found somewhere in the cave. A
White Mage is always a good idea.
However, Kraken may cast Blizzara himself. He can also cast Blind, which makes
your physical strikers screwed. If you go into this battle at level 25, you
will have an immensely easy time like I did. I killed this boss on the second
round, first turn.
===============================================================================
12. Boss Battle Godlor {BGO}
LVL- 26 HP- 9000
Attack- 53 Defence- 28
Gil- 9900 EXP- 6560
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 27+
===============================================================================
Strategy- Oh no, magic doesn't work! And even worse, items that work like
spells don't work either! Physical attackers are how you are going to win this
battle. Magic does 0 damage to Godlor. But the question is WHY?
Anyway, Geomancers are an exception. You also have new jobs, so Dragoons and
Dark Knights are an excellent choice. White Mage too, of course! He will mostly
punch you, which shouldn't cause you too much trouble. And horribly, HE gets to
use magic.
He will try and cast Blind and Silence, but he's not very good at it. He will
also cast Protect on himself, but that doesn't do much effect. Other than this,
he is hardly a threat, so you should beat him quite easily, and unlock your
ship =D.
===============================================================================
13. Boss Battle Garuda {BGA}
LVL- 28 HP- 10000
Attack- 57 Defence- 28
Gil- 10200 EXP- 8800
Weaknesses- Wind Recommended Level- 30+
===============================================================================
Strategy- This is probably the most annoying boss in the whole game. At least,
that's what I think. He is also an extremely cheep boss. He does the same spell
Lightning over and over again every round, and Lightning is a horrible attack
that deals heaps of damage to your ENTIRE party. Do not underestimate this
boss. Many people face this boss at level 28 or so, and sadly, they lose.
Note: This is IF you have one dragoon only. If you have NO dragoons, then, no
chance at lvl 30. If you have two, then easy. Three is a bit too much, so yeah.
Do not use any more than ONE physical attacker, cause they are disgraceful
against this ugly bird. Apart from Dragoons, which is the best job to use
against this boss. It is good to use MORE than one Dragoon, because in the
Dragon Spire you will find the same equipment twice (two Dragon Mails for
example). Evokers are also good, or any other job that is capable of dealing
more than 2000 damage each turn. Geomancers and Black Mages with Blizzaga is
also a good choice. If you are using an Evoker, only summon Heatra and Hyper;
the rest are useless. Hyper deals 2000+ damage all the time, while Heatra is
the same, but sometimes he will HEAL your entire party with Curaja (about
2800hp restored to the entire party)! Also, make sure your party is on the
highest magic defence as possible, because if they are not, then they will not
survive the lightning attacks, which he uses 50% of the time!
His normal physical attack will also deal plenty of damage. If he does a combo
which is Lightning then physical attack, then he might as well kill one of your
party members. He does not do any other attacks- just these two.
Remember, if you are using Dragoons, always use the Jump command. Do this EVERY
time. A white mage will have to use Cura every time definitely. I wish you good
luck against this horrible bird.
===============================================================================
14. Boss Battle Hecatoncheir {BHR}
LVL- 43 HP- 28000
Attack- 89 Defence- 32
Gil- 8000 EXP- 14400
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 40+
===============================================================================
Strategy- This boss is actually really easy. If you have a Dark Knight, then
you have a slight advantage, cause they are good on this weirdo. Hecatoncheir
will use his extremely weak normal physical attack which is disgraceful.
However, he can use Earthquake, which does the same effect as Quake (level 7
black magic spell) and Earthen Drums (item). This magic attack can be quite
powerful if you are under level, but otherwise, you won't have a problem with
this boss. You can even try and beat this boss at level 35 or something. I did,
and I still won! :).
===============================================================================
15. Optional Boss Battle Odin {OBON}
LVL- 40 HP- 31000
Attack- 81 Defence- 35
Gil- 16800 EXP- 20000
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 40+
===============================================================================
Strategy- Odin is not a hard boss. He is, in fact, very easy, despite being
called the Legendary Knight (my ass). He will ride on his horse and mostly use
his normal attack. He cannot use any magic, which is good for you. However,
once half his health is gone, he will use Zantesuken, which is a skill he uses.
It isn't an ordinary skill! At level 40, my physical attackers were almost dead
(their HP bar turned yellow), so don't face this boss before level 40. Anyway,
that's as far as he goes, and you should be able to kill him soon after that.
A Dragoon is good against this boss if you use Jump. A white mage is still
good, to heal your party after he uses Zantesuken. All physical attackers are
good, so choose anyone you like!
When you beat him, you get the Catastro Summon, which isn't very good apart
from the Slash skill.
===============================================================================
16. Optional Boss Battle Leviathan {OBLN}
LVL- 43 HP- 32000
Attack- 85 Defence- 36
Gil- 17100 EXP- 20000
Weaknesses- Lightning Recommended Level- 45+
===============================================================================
Strategy- No, this is not an easy boss, so don't go to this battle under level
45, or you'll have a hard time. Of course, you find this fish at the end of
Lake Dohr, so it is weak to lightning (like you guessed).
A Viking may be good, because they're hammers deal lightning damage. A black
mage is good if you have Thundaga. If you don't, Heavenly Wraths are items that
do the exact same thing.
The boss' normal attack is pretty strong so watch out. This fish can also use
Protect (on itself, duh). She also uses Tidal Wave, which is a Tidal wave that
comes 250 km/h towards your party. It will wipe out more than half of each
character's health, so watch out.
Physical attackers will cause a lot of damage to this boss, and as stated
above, use lightning attacks if you have a mage. That's it. The only thing you
need to watch out for is the Tsunami, and always use Curaga to fix it up. You
may even have Curaja, but that's pointless because it over heals your party.
After you defeat the fish, you get the Leviath Summon!
===============================================================================
17. Optional Boss Battle Bahamut {OBBT}
LVL- 45 HP- 34000
Attack- 90 Defence- 37
Gil- 16500 EXP- 20000
Weaknesses- Wind Recommended Level- 44+
===============================================================================
Strategy- A little more HP than Leviath, more Attack and Defence, and looks
slightly harder than the fish, but really isn't. Well that's my opinion, and it
should be yours too. But before you fight, remember you saw him last time at
Dragon's Peak? Well now you can slap him in the face.
Anyway, the key to this battle is a Dragoon. It will do 9999+ which is probably
20000+ damage with Jump, cause dragons can fly. And because he is a flying
enemy, he is weak to Wind.
Bahamut will attack you with his normal attack, which is bad, and needs
improvement. However, he can use Mega Flare when he is about to die. You really
don't need a White Mage if you have a Dragoon, but it is still good, just in
case.
Do you see how it works? First you will attack with your physical attackers and
probably using Aeroga with your white mage. Your Dragoon will be using Jump,
and should be in mid air. Then your Dragoon will come down on the second round
jump on top of the dragon (which is kinda slack) and you will win the battle.
So that's what you will do, when you fight Bahamut. Absolutely too easy,
probably even as easy as the Djinn. But without a Dragoon, it will be much
harder, because you need to cover up 20000+ damage with your other characters.
After the battle, you get the Bahamut summon!
===============================================================================
18. Boss Battle Doga {BDA}
LVL- 45 HP- 22800
Attack- 89 Defence- 40
Gil- 12000 EXP- 13600
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 45+
===============================================================================
Strategy- What, you're fighting the strongest two people you've met so far in
the game already? It doesn't matter, they're not too hard. At level 45, you
should be able to rip them. Anyways, let me tell you that you have to fight
Unei after Doga, and you don't have time to heal in between. Also keep in mind
that your party does not get full health after defeating Doga.
Doga can use a wide range of attacks, which are all fairly strong, but not too
strong to completely wipe you out. His normal attack will deal 400-500 damage
to you, and always use Cura or Curaga with the White Mage.
Physical attacks work on Doga a lot, especially the Dragoons Jump ability. A
black mage is also good, seeing that you can now use level 6 and level 7 black
magic.
He may cast Thundaga, Blizzaga or Firaga on your whole party, or just a single
character, which is bad because it will get them less than 1000HP. (A physical
attack after that might wipe them out). He will also cast Flare, which is level
8 black magic. (Oh no!). Beside from that, he shouldn't be a problem for you.
After you defeat him, Unei steps up onto the platform and attacks you!

19. Boss Battle Unei {BUI}
LVL- 44 HP- 21800
Attack- 86 Defence- 42
Gil- 12600 EXP- 16000
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended level- 45+
===============================================================================
Strategy- She's about as strong as Doga, so use the same tactics. But SHE has
more tactics however, and are all white magic. Her normal attack is stronger
than Doga's. She can use Haste, Protect, Aeroga, Holy and Tornado. Tornado puts
a character's HP to less than 10, but it doesn't always work. She can also use
it on your entire party. She has less HP than Doga, but only by 1000, and that
hardly makes a difference. She is slightly stronger than Doga, but use the same
strategies and you should beat her in about 3 rounds (I did!).
===============================================================================
20. Boss Battle Titan {BTN}
LVL- 49 HP- 29000
Attack- 96 Defence- 44
Gil- 13500 EXP- 27600
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended level- 49+
===============================================================================
Strategy- Yes it's the Earth crystal! Time for new jobs! But first you have to
have a showdown with Titan. What, Hecatoncheir?! He looks exactly the same as
him! Fortunately, he is also as easy as him. He also uses the same attacks as
him.
They must be brothers of course, what else? But they both fail lol. Tryhard
family. They probably spent like 24/7 working out and buffing their
insignificant muscles. However, Hecatoncheir was worse off, because he is
tanned, and weaker than Titan, which proves he has been trying to work out
heaps. Titan is the more built brother. OK, ENOUGH SAID!
Just use the normal tactics. The Jump ability on Dragoons is always good, and a
white mage is essential, of course. Titan's physical attacks are strong, if you
are not properly equipped. He is really the strengthened version of
Hecatoncheir, so he uses the same attacks. You can just scroll up and go to the
Hecatoncheir section if you need refreshment.
===============================================================================
21. Optional Boss Battle Amon {OBAN}
LVL- 48 HP- 33500
Attack- 96 Defence- 46
Gil- 20350 EXP- 26800
Weaknesses- (changes) Recommended Level- 50+
===============================================================================
Strategy- This boss is annoying. I mean, really annoying. He can use Barrier
Shift, which is pointless (for him); because it just gives him a weakness (he
doesn't have a weakness until he uses Barrier Shift lol, so stupid. Wonder how
he got educated).
You shouldn't be using a Scholar, but you should be using a White Mage. Use the
Libra spell (level 4 white magic) which does the same effect as Study. Amon has
a very high defence, and his attack is actually pretty good. Use Curaga to fix
this problem (or Cura), and you will be fine. He can use Protect, which will
make his Defence even better.
Use a Ninja and a Black Belt. A Black Belt should Boost for 2 rounds then
attack on the 3rd. Boost on 3 times and you will self destruct, which is highly
embarrassing. Use a Devout of course, and the other place can be a Magus or a
Summoner. In my opinion, Summoners are better than Magus.
This boss will last more than 5 rounds, so get ready for a long battle! (You
should be using a Devout instead of a white mage. The same applies for other
jobs that can be upgraded to a better form).
You get a reward for winning! No, not just Gil and EXP, but a Moonring Blade!
===============================================================================
22. Optional Boss Battle Kunoichi {OBKI}
LVL- 48 HP- 29000
Attack- 96 Defence- 46
Gil- 14500 EXP- 29200
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 50+
===============================================================================
Strategy- Kunoichi is Japanese, and she can attack 3 times per round! (That's
fast!) To make this worse, she will also use Haste on herself, which makes sure
that she hits your party 3 times before you land a hit on her (she gets her
goes before you(even faster!)). She has terrible defence though, so just keep
attacking her with your physical attackers.
Don't throw Shurikens (if you have any) with your Ninja, but you may throw some
weapons that you don't need like spears. Don't throw too much either, or you'll
run out. Summon Bahamut and Leviath with your Summoner. Wait, shouldn't Bahamut
and Leviath be dead? Oh well, doesn't matter. A Magus should use Flare, not
Death or Meteor.
Kunoichi will also use Aeroga on your party or one single character, which will
do heaps of damage. That's all, and she should not be a problem at all.
For winning, you get the Masamune! Drools*
===============================================================================
23. Optional Boss Battle General {OBGL}
LVL- 48 HP- 35000
Attack- 105 Defence- 46
Gil- 15600 EXP- 30000
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 50+
===============================================================================
Strategy- This guy is a powerful physical attacker. You can tell, by looking at
the axes that he's holding. He's not going to kill you, so just use Curaga to
cover that up.
General will also cast Bio on your entire party or just one person, which is no
good. He can also use Death, and if it does manage to kill you, then just
revive the fallen soldier and keep on fighting. Revive them with phoenix downs
or Raise. Even Arise, if you have it. Lastly, he can use drain, which doesn't
drain much health.
Use the same party as before, and healing with your Devout every round.
After you beat him, you get the Excalibur! Cause he's a General, so that makes
sense.
===============================================================================
24. Optional Boss Battle Scylla {OBSA}
LVL- 49 HP- 35000
Attack- 105 Defence- 46
Gil- 16200 EXP- 30800
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended Level- 50+
===============================================================================
Strategy- Fugly with 6 heads I think. Just attack like normal. Don't do
anything silly. Unfortunately she is one of the harder bosses in the Eureka
Area (in my opinion), so be careful, someone in your party may die (hehe). Just
do what you did before; there is no need to do anything outstanding.
Scylla attacks twice per round, and her physical attacks are OK in strength,
but are deadly because she can make you stoned sometimes. Use gold needles or
Stona to fix this ailment.
Do whatever you did before, the same thing works here. Also, don't forget to
use the weapons you've found so far in this area, because they are really
strong and make bosses heaps easier.
You get the Elder Staff after winning. Many people say it's good, but I think
it's useless cause it casts Cura not Curaga. But anyway, it's good if you want
to heal up after fighting monsters in a dungeon without using MP.
===============================================================================
25. Optional Boss Battle Guardian {OBGN}
LVL- 49 HP- 33700
Attack- 107 Defence- 46
Gil- 16500 EXP- 31600
Weaknesses- (none) Recommended level- 50+
===============================================================================
Strategy- The last boss of the Eureka section. He is almost the same as Scylla
(similar attack power and defence), but instead of inflicting stone he inflicts
confuse. Which one is worse? It's your opinion, although I think confuse is
worse cause stone causes one of your characters not to attack, while confuse,
the character attacks, but not for you.
His physical attack is actually more formidable than the other bosses here, so
be watchful. Also, pay attention to what he is doing. If he casts Reflect, then
you can't use magic. Use physical attacks when this happens (obviously). Same
strategy as you did before. White mage heal unless you don't have to. If you
are lacking HP and he has casted Reflect, your Black Mages should use Hi-
Potions or something like that.
You get the Ragnarok after the battle. Another great weapon. smiles* o.o
===============================================================================
26. Boss Battle Xande {BXE}
LVL- 50 HP- 49999
Attack- 110 Defence- 48
Gil- 25000 EXP- 34000
Weaknesses- (varies) Recommended Level- 54+
===============================================================================
Strategy- Hey looks, it's Xande. Xande is the bad person of the game, but he is
actually quite easy. (If you've been in the Forbidden Land). Why do you have to
be above level 54? Because Square Enix tries to make the game more interesting
by making more bosses, which are tons stronger than this one.
Anyway, back to the battle. You have new jobs, of course, which are not new
anymore cause you've spent ages training to get to a higher level. A ninja is
good, because he is the best job in the whole game. Just throw some Shurikens
at him, and they will deal 9999+ damage. A Black Belt is the second most
powerful job in the game. Always use Boost for 1 or 2 rounds before attacking.
In that way, you can also deal 9999+ damage. A devout is an awesome version of
a White Mage, so please get one I beg you (o.O). You may also use a Sage, but I
reckon that a Devout is better. In my opinion, a Summoner is better than a
Magus cause Leviath and Bahamut are really aggressive. Of course, Leviath and
Bahamut are able to deal much more damage than Flare and Meteor. But that's my
opinion; you can do whatever ya like!
Now let's talk about the attacks Xande uses. He has a wide range of attacks
including Barrier Shift, which is so pointless it's not funny. He may cast
Meteor on your party, and sometimes he will hit himself (such an unco). Xande
will also cast Blizzaga, Thundaga and Firaga on your party, or just one person.
His normal attack is no problem to you, so take advantage of it. He also uses
some white magic such as Protect on himself.
Xande was probably obsessed with magicians when he was young cause he has too
much magic attacks. Anyway, this battle should be easy as ever, cause you are
lvl 55+ (hopefully).
===============================================================================
27. Boss Battle Cloud of Darkness (first meeting) {BCDFM}
===============================================================================
Strategy- Out of all the living things in the world, this Cloud is the most
built cause you can't even do 1 damage to it. I reckon he would be world
champion weightlifter and win like all the gold medals at the Olympics. It
says, 0 damage. Don't waste any shurikens please cause you will be wasting
them, duhh. Every attack does 0 damage so you might as well just Guard.
This cloud of Darkness will eventually show off his muscles by using particle
